Editing Teams

Team Officers

Team officers are the captains/coaches of a team. When a team is created, that person is the coach by default. This individual can then approve other members and set their membership on the team to:

• Captain
• Coach
• Member
• Alumni

An officer can demote themselves to Member or Alumni, however there must always be at least one officer on a team. Thus the last remaining officer on a team cannot demote themselves.

NOTE: The founding officer will remain permanently an officer on the team.

Team Officer Provisioning

Team officer status is the sole responsibility of the team and its founding user.  Current officers may modify the privileges of other members.

Removing Members

A team officer can remove a member from the team through the team options. This member will no longer be a team member, however they may reapply for membership in the future.

For a member to quit a team, the coach must remove them.

Team Notifications

Team notifications will be sent for the following reasons:

• Membership Request:  If a team has request for new membership, the officers will all receive a copy of the request
• Membership Approval:  Once approved, the requester will receive a notification

Team Invitations
